This course is phenomenal. I have been studying it now for weeks since I first received it. I have never been so involved in a song before. I have studied it intensively by analysis and repetition and your guiding ideas on the video. I just go back and forth when I need refreshing!! It is just like having you right here beside me…Wow.
It’s for a select group of piano players who want to take their playing to the next level by discovering the treasure that lies buried in every song. For the most part it is for people who have already studied with Duane and are anxious to get on to the next level of playing.
Over the next year or two or three a very select group of piano players are going to take their playing to the next level by receiving a new "Music Map" that will lead them to the treasure buried in each song.
You see, every song that has ever been written contains within it musical riches galore — enough to make any piano player fabulously rich in musical techniques beyond his or her wildest dreams. You know that’s true, don’t you? All you have to do is look at a piece of sheet music and compare it to someone playing the same song on TV or a CD.
They add all kinds of color, all kinds of extra notes and different harmonic flavors and rhythms and improvisations, and on and on.
Each month I’ll be providing a new "Music Map" for you — a new familiar song along with a video you can download immediately. You’ll receive an email from me telling you that the new Music Map is ready, and you can then watch it immediately online. If your piano is not by your computer, I recommend that you watch it then practice, then watch it again, and so forth. And of course you can print out the Music Map on your computer printer and keep it on your piano.
I know from experience that many people don’t have the time to take an extended series and don’t want to be locked into a commitment.
But for those of you who want to really learn this technique and get it down cold and are willing to commit for a year, here is what you will get:
…12 Monthly Music Maps. I don’t know if we’ll go beyond a year, but if we do, you can continue beyond the first year, of course, and I’m sure you’ll want to, but you are only obligated for the first year. The reason for this is that I need to cover my costs — it costs a lot to create this in the first place.
…Sheet music of each song in traditional notation — just like you would see it in a music book or piece of sheet music…
…Analysis videos of each song — you’ll see me figure out each chord from the sheet music and outline and highlight it, so you’ll know exactly what chords are being used…
…Lead sheets of each song after we do the monthly analysis from the original sheet music…
If you commit to 12 months of the Musical Map program, you’ll pay just 37 dollars per month. I don’t want you to pay it in advance, either — I’m so confident that you will LOVE the program that I’m trusting you to honor your word that you will stay with me for 12 months minimum. After that, if I decide to continue the program, you will have the option to either quit or continue month by month. But in any case you are not locked in — we’ll just go month by month.
I have been teaching piano for a LONG time — both in my private studio and via all the 300+ courses I have created. And it’s exciting to hear stories like this:
"I wish I was 10 years old and you were my piano teacher. Guaranteed you’d make me into a Liberace. 20 years ago, I took piano lessons for 3 years. I’ve learned so very much from you in just 3 months…far more than what I learned in 3 years. You put things together so well. I love the way you throw new content at us. You really are a great teacher. I’m a doubting Thomas and when I read all those testimonials about how good you were, I thought buddy you’ll really have to prove it to me. Guess what, I’m convinced, you’re a FANTASTIC teacher. Not only do you have the Know How, but you really know how to get your point across…love the sense of humor too."
Each Month I’ll Show You New Tools For Digging and Then Spending Your Newfound Riches On Most Any Song You Want!
This is ONLY available to present students who can read music to some degree and consider themselves intermediate piano players. It is not for pure beginners or advanced players, nor is it for whiners, complainers, or those who require hand-holding – only for mature adults who really want to improve by digging beneath the surface of a song and learning to arrange creatively. Do not order unless you feel comfortable learning by video on your computer.
Your initial charge will be $37.00. You will then be charged $37.00/month for 11 months after your initial charge has been made. Then each month you will go to www.duanesprivatestudents.com to access the current lesson, as well as all past months’ lessons.
PS Remember that as a member of my "inner circle" you will get each month’s "buried treasure" for just $37. instead of what you might expect to pay for such insightful lessons.
Each month you will go to www.duanesprivatestudents.com to access the current lesson, as well as all past months’ lessons. You will be issued a user name and password when you order. Read more…
